How the Herma 4097 sheet is laid out
The Herma 4097 grid is not centred: 10 mm on the left, 8.1 mm on the right, so a template that assumes equal side margins drifts by 1.9 mm.
Columns have a 3 mm gutter but the 12 rows touch, so colour that bleeds off a 4097 label's top or bottom edge shows on the next one if the feed is 1 mm off.
Labels cover 75 % of the page; the rest is backing.

Where the Herma 4097 numbers come from
The 4097 geometry has not yet been checked against Herma's published template: print the plain-paper test first. Other geometry: gLabels template database (herma-iso-templates.xml). LabelGrid is not affiliated with Herma; "4097" only names the sheet this template fits.
